Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you, Apogee Stadium!  They try and say it's not a good thing to be at the top blah blah blah, and the swing shouldn't be as drastic if you dominate your opponents. Anyways, here is the site. Byrd, Capper, and several others have put this link out there.

Ranked #1, is still ranked #1. If I was RV I'd be using this obscure online ranking in our promotion efforts. Especially our efforts to bring back disenfranchised alums. People will be curious. Once they get out to Apogee and experience a game, some will be hooked.

 

Come support your North Texas Mean Green this season @ Apogee Stadium, "The #1 Home Field Advantage in College Football!" as ranked by predictionmachine.com

One possible issue...  The data goes back to 2000, so we don't know how much of the home field advantage might have been at Fouts.  They do say they weigh the new data and new stadium data more heavily though.   I wonder how they count seasons like UH's 2013 where we played at multiple locations, none of them truly a home field.

"Note: All data goes back to 2000 and compares home performance to road performance relative to competition and expectations. In general, recent seasons are given more weight than seasons long ago, especially for programs that are newer to FBS football (Charlotte is not included at all since it has no FBS seasons). For teams that have new stadiums, seasons in new stadiums are given stronger consideration. The Home Field Advantage value in the charts is the expected advantage a team would gain for playing at home as compared to a neutral field against a totally average opponent if it played at a totally average pace (we use this to assess the impact of home field advantage on every play in a game)."

I hate to be the negative nelly but as it says in the article, being on top is not necessarily a good thing. 

The reason why FSU is at the bottom is that they were dominate the last couple years and would of won regardless being home or away.

UNT has such a lop sided home/away record that it puts them at the top because they continually win at home. I have been waving the home field advantage banner for a while now and saying that Mac wins at home. Why can this team not get more support at home??? Dont give me that, "this is an artistic town that doesnt care about football" Bulsh.

That place is very loud with approximately 20K.  Just imagine a sold out Apogee.

I believe Apogee could sellout this year, js. A 5-2 UNT team will be coming home from Marshall to play nUTSAck on Halloween night. The athletic administration will need to put together a sweet trick or treat event (and market it) so the alum come, but I see that game as a potential sellout or at least close to it. Rice might push the seating capacity a little. The other 3, no chance.

Setting yourself up for a little disappointment, eh?  :)
